The trace of scrub stock which could in no other way be detected, it generally revealed by the inferior stock produced. The following diagram shows the nsnal re sult of tbe common method of using half- blooded sires: ( Full blood (Half-blood f Scrub ???( (.Scrub (Scrub First the farmer buys a full blood male whioh he breeds to a scrub female. He selects from this progeny a mute which is of courts a half-blood, and this ho breeds to another scrub female. He goto os the result some thing raors like scrub stock than any lm- -provemont he bad expected, sa that instead of having made any progress he finds himself beck at his starting point. All ha has made by the purchase of a fall blood male is that In the first cross he got some extra fine feed- lug aolmals. Hia mistake was in selecting a male from these for breeding purposes. Had he retained one or more of tne beat females and bred them to a new full-blood male, he would have been on the advance, as shown by the first diagram. .. An over-production of any given article of trade or commerce usually causes a redaction in price. Hence those who count their wealth by tbe qnantity standard are not in frequently sadly disappointed when, at the final reckoning of the profits for the season, they find them mnch less than they bad ex pected. It is, therefore, that all who would keep on the safe tide for encoess should bear In mind that although the demand (or. quan tity may ba more than supplied, thut for quality is seldom, If ever, fully met. Ac o rule, the better grades of manufactured articles, ns well as live stock, always meet with ready sale. To produee the best animsls for the purpose they are designed should be the aim of every true breeder.
